how much were cassettes in the 80s and 90s? did they get cheaper as the 90s went on?
I remember prices coming down on certain brands towards the end of the 90s we were getting great deals on Sony Metal tapes for like $10. But  Maxells XLIIS's were typically consistent at $20 a box though they would occasionally go on sale.  
does anyone that used Fuji cassettes in the 80s and 90s have bad experiences with them?
I remember briefly trying Fuji not liking them and sticking with Maxell I cannot remember why specifically.

One of the best posts I've read here in years thanks Guakus! 
RMAF 2021 Cancelled
That is very sad indeed RMAF had become the cool audio show. Hopefully something comes along to take its place and fingers crossed on Cap Audiofest. And no MC whatever it is please don't say it.

Easy Windows App for Flac & AIFF for Novice
Logitech Media Server works well I'm not sure how it compares to JRiver or Foobar I went from it right to the Auralic app. 
What audio expos are worth going to?
Capitol Audiofest in the DC area has become an excellent show not sure if it will happen this year or not likely not.

@dholmes189 Awesome news congratulations and good luck with the anticipation! And if you can splash out on the best output transformers Aric offers, OPTs really make or break a SET amp. And yes follow up and we will of course need pics! 
Viking Acoustic - Fantom speakers
One of you guys talking to David Counsell should convince him to do some audio shows next year, assuming they return. A lot of us obviously would love to hear his speakers! 
Amp recommendation -- McIntosh, Luxman, Yamaha
In the future I'll connect a lower powered tube power amp and driveit from the pre-outs.It seems a bit of a waste to me to get this nice an integrated and then just use it as a preamp. Is the plan to flip the integrated for a good preamp at this ...

Roxy I figured it was old and kinda funny. And too bad it sounds like you have an excellent system. Gazing longingly at audioporn is one of my favorite pursuits. 
Amp recommendation -- McIntosh, Luxman, Yamaha
Out of that group I would definitely say Luxman.
